No Fantom will only do ISO and BIN/CUE it seems. It's beta so we can excuse it not doing everything it says it should.

Anyway, Daemon Tools is supposed to be releasing their x64 version before this very weekend is out but I wouldn't hold your breath. Alcohol 120% cannot release their x64 software until DT x64 is out as Alcohol uses core components of DT.

Ok here's a question. Is it possible to go back to the 32bit version if you upgrade to xp64? I'd like to try it but if I have problems I want to be able to go back.

 

[Dru]

You would have to format to do that so yes it's possible but you wouldn't be able to retain your files.

I really wish I had the 32bit disk to put on the backup HD, really want to use my tv card again but still no x64 drivers (There never will be).
Apart from this, I haven't really encountered any problems with x64 and it's still going as fast as it always was, bullet proof reliability in my experience too.

So that's a no then

I suppose I could give it a trial run on the old hard disk I just put in but there'd be no point in having it on there permanently since any benefits from 64 bit would be counter acted by the slow hard disk.

 

[jrodga2k5]

Just downloading the trial software just now I got all new components so I'm assuming the xp 64 software will work fine no problems! I checked over the compatability list and I seem to be ok!
Is the trial version the same as the full version?!

 

[ajgoodfellow]

Yep - the trial version is exactly the same. The only difference is that it times out after 180 days (which is the trial period IIRC)
